My Bitsa (or Frankenjazz as I prefer to call it has been a bit more bitsa’d… new scratch plate to accommodate a Catswhisker neck humbucker and a Catswhisker 2+2 Jazz humbucker in the bridge… luvverly!!! Sounds fabulous!

Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to respond. It’s great to see the expertise demonstrated by members of this forum. Quite remarkable really. 🙏

Some backchannel communications are more direct than others.

That's awesome. I bet that neck feels amazing after nearly 60 years of playing. Was it originally black with the tort?

Brightened my day that did. 👍 Thanks Mick.

With these tariffs we all have bigger problems than tube vs SS vs Class AB vs Class D etc. I used to deal with BK when he had Tubeworks. The MosValve was cool. I did a gig a few months ago and my co-guitarist had a little Qulter combo and it sounded good. Pat is a legend in the industry and I've used QSC products for years. The Tonemaster is unique in that it is a modeler dedicated to one amp sound married to an ICE power module but they use the same cabinets that their tube counterparts use. Interesting to note that the specs that Fender gives are somewhat relevant to this discussion. From the Fender product page: Twin Reverb amplifier uses massive digital processing power to achieve a single remarkable sonic feat: faithfully modeling the circuitry and 85-watt power output of an original Twin tube amp. Using a high-performance 200-watt digital power amp to achieve the headroom and dynamic range of a real vintage Twin tube amp, paired with the pronounced sparkle and clarity of two Jensen® N-12K neodymium speakers I'm not familiar with that name.

A good watch - thanks for heads up fretless

I didn't think the duty attracted Vat? Ah well - makes the comparison with Andertons even worse then.

I’m sure we’d all like to hear some audio, if it’s at all possible. When I say we, I really mean me, but I’m guessing there might be others too.

Messaged. . . .

Not if my idea comes to pass. Told the lad in the local takeaway to send a letter home suggesting they convert their held treasuries, 760bn USD, into brick and mortar then build a wall around Trumpland. The orange BAM may talk but let's face it China perfected wall building centuries ago.

The UI looks nice. But is it smart and fast working? It seems impossible to see the whole signal chain on one screen. If you are a 'heavy' user that means plenty of (extra) scrolling if you want to first fine tune the first pedal on the upper path and then the last pedal on the lower path. The pictures of the pedals on the screen look nice, but they seem to not showing the actual values of the pedal? Edit: looking at the manual there seems to be plenty of customization for the rotaries. I will read it before more complaining : )

I shall try, If it works disregard the grounding strip it's only there because I was trying to clean out the ground wire hole that's been problematic since it was repainted in 1972 lol. It has since been removed.

Pedant alert. VAT is the final charge and goes on the cost after Duty is charged.

Bit pricey but I am interested in this, either getting a Brand new mini amp rig Ashdown Studio type or might go for this. See how the price drops more real life reviews

I’m sorry to read that that was your experience there. I’m based in the US and I’ve been a TB member since 2009 and I’ve encountered very little jerkery, all things considered, and haven’t really found humor to be squelched in any meaningful way. …but that’s just my experience and you and I might have just been reading entirely different threads. I’ve mostly found TB to be a pretty welcoming community. I spend a lot of time on there. Sure, there are some jerks…. there are jerks everywhere if you look for them. Even if you don’t! I’ve been a member here since 2015 although I haven’t been around much lately. I can’t say I’ve found much to complain about here, either. Nice bunch of folks, all around. Another good, slightly different community. Perhaps your experience on TB is a reflection of the whole world being under a lot of stress. I sense it a lot more on social media than I do on forums but it does seem like an awful lot of people are squaring up for a fight; any fight, really. I just try to steer clear of all that mess and I try to cut a little extra slack on the internet where people’s intentions are sometimes not as obvious as we assume they are.

Yes - thank-you. Split and merge blocks in the signal chain... cool. Not sure I can afford £900 though...

modelled the Bass on “an justice for all” there is no such thing!!!

Very true. My local grocery emporium were out of stock of my usual brand name choice, so I took a chance on their own brand. On opening the bottle I missed the woody notes of my favourite Domestos, and whrn decanting I noticed a lack of body. It went down well enough after I'd let it breathe for a while, but the afterburn was shocking.
